I love the feeling of being healthy and happy. When you consider that it takes just one extra pound of body fat to put yourself back into a negative energy state, you get excited. But does it really matter? At least that's how my mind works. After years of thinking about doing things and feeling exhausted, I finally realized that the thing I wanted was to feel good. As soon as I found out how! I instantly started losing weight. Then for a week afterward, I'm still in it.
I realized that weight loss was no longer just my goal. My goal is now to make sure I'm living a life that makes me happy. That brings me joy and helps me stay healthy. So that's what I decided to aim for. How do I do that? Well it involves making small changes. This has been an experience for myself and many others and I hope it helps you as well.
